I have two more characters and I originally thought up of this person who's living life fighting with everyone but has a hidden past that's considered horrible. The trouble I had was figuring out the species; like a rhino or an alligator, but they're too tall so I went in with a snow leopard. Hope I made this right choice for the character Banzai. Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 6: A Broken Fighter
The next day, Musaki took a walk with Naomi and as they were walking, they immediately saw Wolf Guido catching up with them and greeted him as he came by. He caught up with them and Wolf Guido said, "Hey, guys. How's it going?"
"Good. You?" asked Musaki.
"Okay, I guess." Wolf Guido answered.
"You get adopted yet?" asked Naomi.
"No. I'm kinda scared to though."
"Why?"
Wolf Guido sighed heavily and said, "Well...I've been told that I will never be adopted by another family because I'm ugly and weird and Bully Guido told me that any family would abandon me if I was living with them. Those kind of words really hurt, but at the same time, I have nightmares about that happening and it ends up bad. So, I hid myself away from other families so no one would see me."
"That dude is lying to you. There are many things about you that's special." Musaki said.
"Like what?"
"Well, you're nice, cool to hang with, sweet, caring and pretty much likeable. Any family would be lucky to have you in theirs." Naomi added.
"Yeah, you just have to believe in it." Musaki added.
"Are you sure? What if they don't like me?" asked Wolf Guido, nervously.
"What's not to like about you? Don't let what that other Guido say get to your head. Just take a chance and see what happens. You never know, you could be adopted to someone who can change your life."
Wolf Guido thought about this for a second and then sees that maybe being adopted won't be that scary at all. He looks at Musaki and Naomi and he smiled and said, "I guess you're right. I've been hiding myself from others for so long and I think it's time for me to get used to being in a new family."
"Exactly. Don't let it pass you by."
As they walked towards the bridge, they saw a fight break out in another side of the city and they went in to see where it came from and to their surprise, a snow leopard-yellowish tan with black spots, 5'8, 149 pounds, orange eyes, between 16 and 17 years of age, wearing dark brown sweatpants and a blue vest with a black T-shirt underneath it and a tattoo on his forehead, arms, wrists and a silver necklace of a fist on his neck-and a young silver fox-grey and silver fur, silver eyes, 16 years old, 5'6, 154 pounds, wearing only a grey t-shirt and has chinese symbol tattoo on his forehead-go head to head against each other.
The young snow leopard went and punched him in the mouth and the young silver fox tried to escape the fight, but the snow leopard refused to let him go. He snarled at him and shouted, "Fight back!"
"You know I don't want to fight anyone!" the silver fox exclaimed.
"Shut up! I don't care what you say!"
He literally beat the crap out of the silver fox like it's nobody's business and then he went and bashed his head in the skull with his knuckles, which caused him to fall down and to add insult to injury, he just punched in the face, resulting in losing his front teeth and falling to the ground.
Most of the onlookers were in shock as they see an innocent silver fox getting beaten by a snow leopard. He looks at the crowd and bellowed, "Who else wants some?"
The snow leopard panted furiously and most of the onlookers kinda walked away which added to his anger. He growled and said, "You wimps! You dare to walk away from Banzai?"
Suddenly, as the crowd clears, in comes Musaki, Naomi and Wolf Guido standing there and it was a good time to bail out, but Banzai stopped them and said, "You, panda! Fight!"
Musaki froze for a second and said, "Dude, not today."
"You can't turn down a challenge!"
"Watch me."
Musaki walks away from him, but Banzai immediately grabbed him by the shoulder and thrashed him on the ground and punched him in the face hard.
"One rule: never walk away when I'm fighting you!"
Musaki gets up and said, "Here's a rule I follow: Never get involved in a fight in the street. What's the point in fighting you anyway?"
Banzai just punched him in the eye and flipped him several times and threw him in the air and kicked him mid-air until he landed in Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop. He laid on the ground, groaning in pain as the customers went around him.
He gets himself up, dusted himself off and sees Naomi and Wolf Guido coming in Naomi asked, "You okay?"
"I'm fine." Musaki replied.
"Dude's got a strong grip."
"Not strong enough. Sorry about that, guys. Had a little situation at the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person."
As soon as they got out of there, Banzai stood in the way and looked madder than ever and refuses to give up without a fight. He growls and said, "Fight now!"
"Dude, I'm not gonna fight you." Musaki added.
He growled at him and just straight up kicked him, punched him, shoved him, threw him and everything in between. He then rammed him against a wall and fell down to the ground, unconscious. Then, he walked towards him to scratch his face but not before being stopped by the silver fox.
"I thought I defeated you!" Banzai screamed.
"I won't let you hurt an innocent soul because of your personal gain!" the silver fox shouted.
"My personal gain is none of your business! They don't know the hurt that I've felt!"
"So you just beat people up for that reason?" asked Naomi.
"What's it to ya?"
Musaki groans in pain and then, he stood up and said, "Couldn't help overhearing, but there's something in your past that made you like this, isn't it?"
Banzai stood there in shock, knowing that Musaki found out about him so quickly. He growled at him and said, "Keep your nose out of my business! For that, you will feel the pain that you put me in!"
"What are you talking about? I haven't put you in any pain!"
"LIAR! You don't deserve to live!"
Musaki didn't know what to do and Banzai went and lunged at him, grabbing his neck, proceeding to choke him and he attempted to scratch his face, but he was stopped...by a striped master.
"Let...Musaki...go."
Musaki sees Tigress stopping him and he asked, "What took ya so long?"
"Stay out of this! This has nothing to do with you!" Banzai screamed.
Tigress snarled at him and said, "Maybe you didn't hear me well. Let go of him now or you'll suffer the consequences."
"She's not joking around, dude." Musaki added.
Banzai didn't think he was gonna back down, but he eventually let go of Musaki and he he started breathing again. Banzai grew angry at him, but there was a tear in his eye and he knew something was up with him.
He storms off leaving Musaki holding his neck and asked, "What is wrong with him?"
"His father has been in and out of his life, out of jail and Banzai was the victim of his dad's abuse." the silver fox explained.
"He what?" asked Wolf Guido.
"Yeah, from what I heard from Ms. Faye."
"That still doesn't give an excuse to what he did to Musaki." Tigress added.
"So, he's turned to fighting others to hide the pain away from him. I'm mostly his target of his anger and everyone else just suffers from it at the orphanage. He has a very quick temper and most times, it can get him into trouble."
"How so?"
"I can give you stories, but there are too many to even tell. He's pretty much angry at himself and the world. He thinks he can fight them, but there's no way."
"I think he reminds me of Tigress, if she was born a dude."
Tigress scoffed at that comment and she glared at him, asking, "Really?"
"Well, he is kinda similar to your temper."
"Just be glad that I saved you."
"Anyways, I'm Mikhail." the silver fox said.
"I'm Musaki and these are my friends; Naomi, Guido and the person with the ego is Tigress."
"Master Tigress? I've heard of you before. I think I used to have a crush on you." Mikhail said.
"Used to?" asked Tigress.
"Well yeah...I like Viper now."
"Me too." Musaki added.
"I think someone has to get through to this Banzai." Tigress said.
"You can try, but it never works because he feels like he's alone in the world."
"It's sad. Fighting for no reason to hide his pain."
"Sounds kinda like you, but I'm hoping I can get through to him." Musaki said.
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I can analyze his emotions and once I break the wall he's in, I'm sure he'll unveil the mask he's hiding himself in."
As they were talking, they were unaware that Banzai is watching and he was completely in tears because of the fact that his past was mortifying and Musaki was right about him. He looks away and walks back to Bao Gu, with tears in his face and emptiness in his heart.
You find out more details about Banzai in the next chapter. Other than that, how was it? Let me know and the next chapter will come soon.
